Chen Taifu is thin and smooth-talking. He usually looks calm and generous, but in fact, even his eyes reveal a shrewd look.

His little calculations were making a lot of noise in Jingyun City, and he was well-known for being a shrewd person.

But today he couldn't keep calm at all. His defense was completely broken, really broken!

He took the money tree and lay on the steps at the gate of the government office, crying bitterly, "Oh, heaven, oh, earth, please open your eyes and look, is there any justice or humanity here?"

The bailiffs were annoyed by his crying, so when the time came, they hurried him into the court to tell his grievances and not to embarrass himself in public.

After entering the yamen, Chen Taifu howled even louder when he saw Han Zhiling sitting in the court, still a little sleepy.

"Master, please make the decision for me!" Chen Taifu held a pot of money tree in both hands, his voice filled with tears.

On weekdays, Chen Taifu had often given benefits to the government, and Han Zhiling had also met him before. Although he was dissatisfied at the moment and had been wailing since early in the morning, he still patiently asked, "What is this bald spot?"

"It's my money tree!"

Chen Taifu burst into tears, "I was plucked bald by a heartless person yesterday! Not even a leaf was left for me!"

Four! Four whole money trees, all of which he had spent a fortune to transport from Jiangnan.

This tree is delicate and he usually takes good care of it. Both its variety and appearance can be said to be rare in the whole city!

Today, when he came to the store humming a little tune, he saw the leaves all over the ground. His eyes went dark in an instant and he almost fainted.

Such a cruel method! Such a cruel heart! This has completely wiped out all his thoughts!

Chen Taifu, who was sitting on the ground and screaming, howled out a strong premonition.

He seemed to know who did it!

He suddenly raised his head and looked at Han Zhiling with a sharp gaze, "Master! I know who did it!"

Han Zhiling, who had been lost in thought, became interested upon hearing his certainty. He stroked his goatee and asked, "Who?"

"It must be the owner of the Fairy Tale House across the street!" Chen Taifu said with certainty, gritting his teeth and shouting, "Li! Xing! Lan!"

At this time, Li Xinglan, who had not slept all night, had just finished washing up and lay down.

Sandie intends to slowly infiltrate some industries in the imperial city, so I have been inspecting everywhere with Sandie recently. Every place needs to be taken care of, and I am exhausted like a dog every day.

Fortunately, the problem of Lao Liu has been solved temporarily. As long as the secret guards keep a close eye on him, there will be no trouble for the time being.

In addition to the fairy tale house, he also opened a gambling house and a pawnshop that appeared to be doing legitimate business but was actually the intelligence department's pawnshop.

Su Su's fairy tale house is on the right track.

Ergou also went to school.

Blind Chen is trying to get married to Widow Ma at the end of the street, and things are going well...

Li Xinglan lay on the couch, satisfied that everything he needed to do was proceeding in an orderly manner.

Well~ not bad, not bad, everything is under control.

After adjusting himself to a comfortable sleeping position, he prepared to have a good sleep.

But before he had closed his eyes for an incense stick of time, he was awakened by a knock on the door.

It was Shen Huan, she shouted outside the door: "Master, someone is coming from the government office!"

Li Xinglan: "......"

He stood up with a gloomy face, his beautiful fox eyes were bloodshot and there were obvious dark circles under his eyes.

yamen?

Is it that Old Six who is causing trouble?

Li Xinglan was wearing a single layer of clothing and casually put on a black robe. He strode towards the main hall with anger.

Shen Huan was jogging behind her. She was hesitating whether to wake up Su Su who was sleeping.

Looking at Li Xinglan's angry back, he thought to himself, forget it. If I disturb the young lady's sleep, the young master will probably be even angrier.

Li Xinglan was already in a bad mood when he woke up, and coupled with the long-term reversal of day and night, he was even more irritable.

As soon as he arrived at the main hall, he saw Chen Taifu holding a bare tree trunk, leading two yamen runners, glaring at him angrily.

When people are speechless, they really laugh out loud.

Li Xinglan suppressed his anger, nudged the inside of his mouth with the tip of his tongue, and asked with a smile, "Sir, what can I do for you so early in the morning?"

Seeing his cynical expression, Chen Taifu was so angry that his hands were shaking. He said angrily: "You have to compensate me for the money tree!"

"I'll sit with you for a while! I'll even compensate you with a money tree." Li Xinglan plopped down on the main seat, legs crossed. "If you're sick, go get treatment. Why are you coming to my house like this?"

"Hey! F*ck you!!!"

Chen Taifu opened his mouth to curse, but was interrupted by Li Xinglan before he could finish his words.

"I'm giving you a chance to get out. Don't wait for me to do it myself." As he said this, he rolled his eyes at Chen Taifu with disgust.

He cursed in his heart, you cunning student, I didn't bother you, but you went to your grandfather first. Do you know how upset you made your aunt?

Your aunt even ate two bowls less of rice!

Chen Taifu widened his eyes in disbelief. He had never seen such an arrogant and domineering person!

Pulling out his four money trees, don't you feel guilty? And you even dare to roll your eyes at him!

He turned his head and met the eyes of the two yamen runners behind him. With tears in his eyes, he said pitifully: "My two lords, you also saw it..."

The bailiff nodded, seeing that he was indeed arrogant and irritating.

A sturdier-looking yamen runner stepped forward and said to Li Xinglan in a harsh tone, "Let's go to the yamen!"

Li Xinglan crossed his arms over his chest, "Reason."

The yamen runner had thick, dark eyebrows. He frowned, looked fierce, and said impatiently, "You've plucked out Boss Chen's fortune tree."

"Four! Yes, four!" Chen Taifu raised four fingers and reminded, "I spent a lot of money to transport them from Jiangnan. One hundred taels of silver!"

"I'm free and have nothing to do. I'd rather pull out all the grass in front of your mother's grave than this thing of yours. Don't try to frame me." Li Xinglan's patience was almost at its limit.

He was already irritable due to lack of sleep, so he stretched out his slender fingers, closed his eyes, pinched the corners of his eyes, and the veins on both sides of his forehead throbbed.

Chen Taifu was so angry that he almost died. How could this young man have such a vicious tongue? His lips trembled and he couldn't say a word.

Then he became determined, his eyes widened with anger, he picked up the money tree and threw it to the ground.

The clay basin shattered into pieces in an instant, and the fragments and mud fell to Li Xinglan's feet.

This frightened Shen Huan so much that she subconsciously covered her mouth. She looked at Li Xinglan in panic.

Something big is about to happen!

Li Xinglan first glanced at the mud on his feet, then slowly raised his head with a gloomy look. He looked at Chen Taifu with an unshakable darkness in his eyes.

He didn't say anything, but scared Chen Taifu.

Chen Taifu unconsciously took two steps back, hid behind two yamen runners, and trembled.

That look! He would believe it if someone said he had killed someone!

What an arrogant attitude! The two yamen runners exchanged glances, then stood in front of Li Xinglan like two huge mountains, casting a large shadow.

"Mr. Li, please come to the government office!"
