Chapter 289 Send Chen Ke away

After hearing what Lu Hao said, Gao E felt that nothing was wrong.

If something really happened, Lu Hao would definitely keep it secret.

"Hurry up." She lost interest.

Lu Hao said exaggeratedly: "Do you still remember the reward notice at the entrance of the county government office?"

"Chiang Chung-jen's?" Gao E said uncertainly.

"Yes!" Lu Hao said mysteriously, "I heard that he has a treasure, which contains his immense wealth."

Gao E frowned. Jiang Zhongren did offer a very high price at that time.

This was a source of confusion in Lu Hao's eyes: "Now many people have come to He County to look for him, either for the reward or for his treasure."

Gao E looked at Lu Hao and asked, "Is this information reliable?"

"It must be reliable. There are many more gangsters in He County these past two days." Lu Hao was very sure.

Gao E thought for a moment and said, "Don't get involved."

"Don't worry, Boss Gao. After I receive your wages, I, Lu Hao, will only do things for you." Lu Hao patted his chest and promised.

"Who do you think leaked this news?" Gao E felt that this matter was a bit strange. It must be that someone was determined to find Jiang Zhongren.

Lu Hao was a little dumbfounded: "Oh, right, who knew that Jiang Zhongren had a fortune?"

Gao E thought that Lu Hao was not stupid: "Then you should pay more attention to the people who come to He County during this period, and see if there are any people who are particularly concerned about this matter but don't go to find anyone."

"Okay." Lu Hao didn't ask why.

In the end, he still had lunch at Chen's house, and after eating, he left happily with the funds given to him by Gao E.

Gao E contacted everyone she could to try to figure out who was looking for Jiang Zhongren, but in the end she still couldn't come to a conclusion.

But no one could find Jiang Zhongren.

It was ten days later that Li Quan returned to He County.

He was a little annoyed when he received the message from the Li family, thinking that the Li family would come to him for everything now, especially when it was related to the Chen family.

He had hinted at Jiang Zhongren's group before, hoping to teach the Chen family a lesson, but that group of people was actually wiped out because of the Chen family.

He was upset about this matter.

As a result, not long after, his good-for-nothing cousin went to provoke the Chen family again and was sent to jail.

After thinking about all these things, there is only one reason: Chen Jiake him.

He originally wanted to find an excuse to return to He County, but his superiors ordered him to go back to He County and find Jiang Zhongren and kill him before anyone else.

He was also assigned a guard for this purpose, so he was very confident when he returned to Huihe County this time.

After arriving in He County, he first spent money to find out the whole story and confirmed that it was his useless cousin who took the initiative to cause this. The Chen family must have relied on the face they had in front of Lord He, so they sent the person directly to the yamen.

"I say, can't you just be quiet for a while?" Li Quan went to the prison to see Li Xiao.

Li Xiao was a little excited to see his cousin come back, and he looked stubborn: "My cousin didn't see that little girl, any man would be tempted."

Li Quan was speechless for a moment: "How short-sighted! How can there be a celestial being in a place like this?"

"She is indeed a fairy." Li Xiao was very sure.

Li Quan disagreed, thinking that Li Xiao had never seen anyone so beautiful before: "Okay, you must behave well this time, otherwise you will be exiled."

Li Xiao was relieved at this time. After all, his aunt was also in prison. Even if his cousin didn't care about him, he couldn't ignore his aunt. "I'll listen to you in everything, but you have to think of a way to deal with that little girl."

Li Quan didn't want to pay any attention to Li Xiao.

After Lu Hao knew that Li Quan had returned, he rushed out of the city gate to Baotou Village before closing the city gate and told Gao E the news.

Gao E knew that Li Quan was not Li Xiao, he was a scholar and had brains.

Having suffered such a huge loss unexpectedly this time, I will definitely take a long-term view.

When Chen Ke heard that Li Quan had returned, his expression became very solemn. He was also afraid of Li Quan.

"What do you think about this matter, my husband?" Gao E first asked Chen Ke for his opinion.

Chen Ke only knew that Li Quan had lived a wealthy life in his previous life, and that his job in Qinzhou City should be very good. He just didn't know if he had any connections in the government: "Even if he comes back, he can't ignore the law."

"My husband is right." Gao E immediately agreed. "So he will most likely come to my husband as a classmate, hoping to get him to withdraw the lawsuit against the Li family."

Chen Ke was stunned, thinking that this was possible: "Then..."

He didn't know what to do either.

Just like Master Guan came to ask for the Jin Dynasty, in the end it was difficult for him to refuse.

"It's okay if he comes alone, but if he brings his teacher and classmates with him, it would seem a bit unkind if my husband insists." Gao E continued.

Chen Ke nodded: "If that's the case, I..."

He was in a difficult situation.

To be honest, he really didn't want to let the Li family get away with it, but if it was really as Gao E said, he had to agree for the sake of face.

"Then they might say that my husband is petty and that we have gone too far." Gao E was angry.

Chen Ke felt that this might happen. He knew it was not good, but he didn't know how to deal with it.

"If I say anything, they will ask my husband to be henpecked and listen to me when encountering problems. In short, it is obviously them who made the mistake. In the end, it is us who are wrong both inside and outside." Gao E became more and more angry as she spoke.

"Don't be angry, my lady. I'll find a way." Chen Ke comforted her hurriedly.

Gao E looked at Chen Ke and said, "Why don't you go visit your friends in advance?"

Chen Ke was stunned.

"As long as my husband is not at home, they bully me, a woman. No matter what you say, it makes no sense," Gao E analyzed.

Chen Ke was worried: "I can't let my wife face this alone."

"They can only cause trouble for my husband. He is their classmate and a scholar, so he has all kinds of demands. But I am a woman, and they can't do anything to me." Gao E didn't care.

Chen Ke still felt that this was wrong: "As a husband, I should support my family and not run away when things go wrong."

Gao E wondered why Chen Ke suddenly became so responsible: "This isn't an escape, it's just a way to solve the problem."

Chen Ke remained silent. It would indeed be much better if he left, but he felt it was not right to let his wife handle it all alone.

"Then it's settled." Gao E saw Chen Ke hesitate, "but your clothes haven't been made yet. This time, bring more money and buy ready-made clothes directly when you arrive in Qinzhou Prefecture."

Chen Ke looked at his wife and didn't know what to say for a moment.

The only trouble for Gao E is that Luo Dagang is going to leave with Chen Ke, and she should try her best not to compete with him at that time.

The horse-drawn carriage also had to be given to Chen Ke, so she could only use the ox-drawn cart when going to He County.

"I'll prepare something for my husband and leave early tomorrow morning." Gao E was worried that she would be blocked by Li Quan, which would put her in a more passive position.

Chen Ke hesitated for a moment and nodded: "Then my wife will be very hard-working at home. I will go talk to my eldest brother and ask them to take care of the family affairs."

Gao E originally wanted to stop them, but then she thought better of it. It was a matter between brothers, and she shouldn't interfere too much.
