Spring is approaching, and the people of Guangping County are extremely busy. The few inns are all full. Since Du Jingsheng made the name of this place known, there have been many more caravans coming and going.

Sheng Changan also handed over the foreign trade to the Du family. Her vision was not wrong. Du Jingsheng's wife Li Ru was particularly good at it. With her around, the GDP of Sheng Changan's subordinate counties rose sharply.

Yet, not a single wealthy household moved into Guangping County, all because the rules set by Sheng Chang'an violated their interests. Deliberately beating or scolding slaves was forbidden, hoarding of land was prohibited, princes who broke the law were punished the same as commoners, and favoritism and abuse of power were prohibited...

Every item sold in every shop is completely beyond their bottom line, but the soaps, mirrors, etc. here also bring them huge profits, forcing them to come here to purchase goods.

Sheng Changan is already fifteen years old this year and has grown a lot taller. At least now she has no way of pretending to be a man.

There are many immigrants in Guangping County, and not all of them know her. Those who know her also know that this adult occasionally comes out shopping, and they will tacitly not disturb her.

She had a simple hairpin on her head, her hair was casually tied up, her eyes were long and narrow with the corners of her eyes raised, and she was wearing a plain green dress as she moved among the crowd.

Sheng Changan had a very clear destination. Although she knew the current situation in Guangping County very well, she still liked to go out for a walk by herself. She skillfully found a teahouse and sat down.

She controls more than ten counties, and almost all the best teahouses in each place belong to her. This one is no exception. With these caravans, Sheng Changan's wallet has quickly become fatter in the past two years.

The gavel above slammed, "Today I will talk about this spring boudoir..."

Sheng Changan arrived relatively early, and there was barely an empty table. Her favorite thing was to sit in the corner and listen to other people talk about gossip that she didn't know.

Yuefeng Restaurant, the first floor is used as a teahouse and storytelling place, while the second and third floors are private rooms.

This restaurant has a rule that if guests have interesting stories or novel things to tell, they can tell them. The restaurant staff will compile them into stories and tell them again, and they will receive generous gifts.

Many people realized that this restaurant was deliberately collecting information, but what they said was just information that most people knew. For them, this was a lucrative business.

"I feel that this restaurant might be related to the gentleman in Guangping County," said a man who looked like a scholar in a voice that he thought others could not hear.

"Hush! How dare you say that here? Forget what happened yesterday. You can tell me what you know, but you must not ask for any information about that adult."

"I know. I'm just telling you that this restaurant is obviously gathering information."

The other one was startled and looked around, "Brother Xiao, please don't say anything. What if we get caught? I still want to participate in the Spring Boudoir."

Sheng Changan took a sip of tea helplessly. Her reputation was always up and down. She had also heard a little about the person Lin Chuan caught yesterday. She heard that he was a spy from the previous company.

They might not have been caught if they went to other places, but they came to her base camp. The local people reported it to the authorities as soon as they realized something was wrong, and they were caught red-handed here.

But perhaps because they didn't catch all of them, a rumor inexplicably spread that she didn't allow people here to talk about anything about Guangping County, otherwise they would be sent to labor camps.

She was really wronged, but the person who spread the rumor would probably be found soon.

Sheng Changan glanced around and saw many familiar faces coming here, surrounding the man just now. The man obviously noticed something and became a little restless.

"Brother Xiao, what's wrong with you? Look at you sweating, wipe it off." The person who said this didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, but he slowly widened the distance between the two of them.

As for the man dressed as a scholar and calling himself Brother Xiao, he looked around a few times and immediately confirmed his identity.

Feeling the murderous intent behind her, Sheng Changan was speechless. She felt as if she had a talent, a talent for attracting hatred. Among so many people present, this spy chose her.

Did she look particularly easy to bully? These people always managed to find her hostage in the vast crowd. She didn't know whether it was their bad luck or hers.

Hearing the commotion and exclamations around him, Sheng Changan stood up and looked at the people rushing towards him, his expression unchanged.

Looking at the person in front of him who was not panicking at all, he hesitated, but everyone else had already retreated, and he had no choice now. She was just a woman, that's how he felt.

If he stayed here for a long time, someone would tell him not to think that the women in Guangping County were easy to bully. If they were the citizens of Guangping County, even children, they should not be underestimated easily.

Sheng Chang'an raised his eyebrows slightly, drew out the long sword he carried with him, and with a slight flash of sharp light, he knelt on the ground. He was not dead, but his tendons were broken. It seemed that he could only find a better job for him.

"I'm fine, don't worry, gentlemen." Sheng Changan stopped them from saying anything.

"Yes." They were under Lin Chuan's direct leadership and were responsible for the security of Guangping County. They had also seen this adult before and naturally recognized him.

Knowing that she didn't want to reveal her identity, he ordered someone to drag the man off the ground and even removed his jaw to prevent him from committing suicide.
