The county magistrate was sweating profusely and knelt down. "Sir, it takes time to find someone. Sometimes the government office doesn't have enough manpower and doesn't send anyone."

"Why are you kneeling? You haven't done anything wrong, so why?" The county magistrate still had the same expression.

But after hearing this, the county magistrate did not dare to stand up and replied on his knees.

When he came out, his back was soaked, but he was more determined to climb up.

"Let's go back!"

The lawyer in the yamen whispered a few words to Liu Gang, and then he heard the sound of horse hooves at the door. He knew in his heart that it was the county magistrate who had gone to Guangning Prefecture returning.

His solemn expression quickly changed and he went out to greet them with a smile. The county magistrate looked unhappy and when he saw him, he asked him to come closer and whisper something to him.

"......" I have long known that the county magistrate is stupid and greedy, but I didn't expect that he would always make me doubt my life.

"Isn't this bad? What if the county magistrate asks about it?"

The county magistrate glared at him fiercely. He couldn't bear to hear the word "county magistrate" the most. "Don't use the term "county magistrate" to pressure me! Just do whatever I tell you to do. Remember who you belong to!"

The lawyer quickly lowered his head and responded, cursing in his heart.

Is it possible to kill the kidnapper before finding the child? Where can we find the child if we kill him?

But he had to obey this order. He gave Liu Gang a look, and the two of them quietly walked towards the cell.

After the ancestral hall was built, more and more people began to come to visit. Zhao Ganwei had to take people to the ancestral hall more than ten times a day, and his legs became thin from walking.

The apples in the orchard will be ready for picking in another six or seven days. Even Ding Renhua, who had not been seen for a long time, came to take a look and brought a lot of wooden boxes.

"Used to store apples?" Zhong Ruyi touched his chin and lifted the lid of the box casually.

I saw that the inside of the box was arranged in grids. There were four layers in total, with nine grids on each layer.

Each small grid is covered with cotton cloth to prevent the items placed in the grid from being damaged.

"No wonder one pound of apple costs one tael of silver. Does it cost so much?" Zhong Ruyi couldn't help but click his tongue. An apple costs one whole room, so the price must be high.

Compared to Boss Wang, they all use bamboo baskets, how can they put them in boxes so delicately? They also specially made wooden boxes of the right size, which is really a waste of money and effort.

Ding Renhua was also standing by and sneered when he heard this. "Only the royal family can enjoy this kind of specifications. This first batch must be carefully served. After the nobles in the capital have tasted the first bite, the rest will be sent back and the common people will have their turn."

Are they ordinary people who spend one or two taels of silver to buy a pound of apples?

Anyway, in Liuyun Town, a pound of apples costs only a few dozen coins at most. Even if you are rich, you can't spend money like this, right?

Your people and my people seem different.

Zhong Ruyi was lost in thought, the price was so high only because it was far away. If apple trees were planted everywhere in the future, they would definitely not be sold at one pound per two ounces like they are now.

"By the way, please have someone send a few grape plants from your yard to us when the time comes." Ding Renhua suddenly said.

Zhong Ruyi felt a little helpless. Last time, this young master listened to Yu Wei and went to see her family once after knowing that there were several grape vines planted in her yard.

The grapes were already in fruit at that time, and the green Sunshine Roses hung on the grape racks like strings of emeralds.

The young master Ding, who had never seen her before, was immediately dazzled and wanted to dig up the grapes in her yard and take them back with him.

"Why?" Chen Dongzhi looked at him coldly, knocked down several people who came forward to dig up the grape vines, and stood in front of one of the grape vines, refusing to move away.

Seeing that the atmosphere was becoming tense, Zhong Ruyi quickly stepped forward to block the man, "Master Ding, I'm so sorry, we went to the mountain to look for these grapes for a long time before we found these few plants. Wouldn't it be too overbearing for you to take them all at once?"

Ding Renhua was full of disbelief. "You found it in the mountains? You can grow watermelons and apples in this area, and now you can even find grapes of this quality in the mountains? Do you think I'm a fool?"

Zhong Ruyi said calmly, "Master Ding, if you don't believe me, you can bring your people with me to the mountain to look for it. There may not be many, but we should be able to find one or two plants."

"That's not necessary. Since there are a few grape vines in your yard on the mountain, why don't you give them to me?" Ding Renhua didn't want to go up the mountain and work himself to death to dig some grape vines. Of course he would take the ones that were ready-made in front of him.

"Master Ding, please don't force me." Zhong Ruyi smiled wryly, "These grapes have only been planted for more than a year. If we dig them up now, they might die before they reach the capital. Master Ding, please let them go."

"It's okay if I don't take the ones from your yard. When I leave, go to the mountain and find a few for me to take back."

Chen Dongzhi gritted his teeth. If he hadn't been concerned that the man in front of him was from the capital, he would have knocked him down right now. He had never seen anyone who asked for things so confidently!

So when Ding Renhua brought up this matter again, Zhong Ruyi agreed. There were plenty of grapes in the space, and several households in the village planted grapes. Most of them were dug out from the space by her, and a small part was really dug from the mountain.

However, the fruits of the variety dug from the mountain were very small and slightly sour. Her third sister-in-law thought they were good and ate a lot of them during her pregnancy. However, she was not so fond of the excellent varieties grown in the yard.

"Then when are you leaving? I'll see if I can dig a few plants in the next few days." Zhong Ruyi asked.

Ding Renhua glanced at her and said, "I can stay as long as I want, and I can leave whenever I want."

"Yes, dear!" Zhong Ruyi chuckled and complimented, "You are worthy of being Master Ding!"

As the two were talking here, the accompanying servant came over quickly and said, "Master, there is news from the town."

Ding Renhua and his group did not stay in the inn, but bought a three-story courtyard house to live in.

"what's up?"

The servant secretly looked up at Zhong Ruyi, and Zhong Ruyi tactfully walked away.

After the others had gone far away, the servant said, "Greetings to the County Magistrate of Liuyun Town."

"County Magistrate?" Ding Renhua frowned. A county magistrate from a small town wanted to see him? What a joke. Did he think he was a monkey? Just look at him if you want to?

He said coldly, "No! Next time this person comes, just say I don't have time and don't need to report to me again."

"Yes." The servant lowered his head and went down.

...

Snapped!

A book was thrown to the ground fiercely, and the county magistrate looked at the legal advisor with a ferocious expression:

"He's not coming?"

"Even if the Ding family works for the imperial court, they are just businessmen! How dare they refuse to come when I want to meet them?"

"Good! It's really good!"

He was so angry that he went crazy, and felt that these people were really looking down on him more and more.

He stood up and paced back and forth in the study, but he was reluctant to give up the connection with the Ding family. If he got in touch with the Ding family and asked them to say a few good words for him in front of the superiors, he would have to move the chair under his butt.

Thinking of this, he swallowed his anger and asked the master to help him ask again.
