Farming and reading family

Not all members of the Zhao family knew that there was such a secret room, and now they began to question Zhao Jiancheng.

Zhao Jiancheng was disheartened. Xu Boyan's purpose was clear and it seemed that he had anticipated it in advance.

No wonder Xu Boyan told him to hold on to Ye Linchuan tightly, because in this way he might be able to drag Ye Linchuan into the water as well.

The people in the county government office were busy all night, making a list of the stolen goods and sealing up the Zhao family. When they took the Zhao family back to He County, it was already dawn, and it was already afternoon when they arrived at He County.

The arrest of so many people at once attracted people from all over the county to come and watch.

Soon they learned that the Zhao family had colluded with bandits to kill and rob, and now they were caught red-handed.

This sudden change caught Lu Hao off guard, and he hurriedly rode his horse to tell Sister Gao.

Gao E looked solemn after hearing this. She thought Xu Boyan was too quick. She had never seen him do things so decisively before.

Suddenly I thought of Xu Boyan’s reaction when he saw the jewelry that Lu Qingluo took out from the Zhao family. Could it be that those jewelry had some origin?

No matter what, Xu Boyan handled this matter so thoroughly that the Zhao family’s problems must have been completely solved.

"Sister..." Lu Hao rubbed his hands. "If something happens to the Zhao family, they also have a lot of assets..."

If the Zhao family is convicted, the gentry in He County will definitely divide up the Zhao family's property.

"Your appetite is getting bigger and bigger." Gao E looked at Lu Hao who was eager to try.

"Sister, you are now qualified." Lu Hao said confidently.

Gao E was indeed qualified, but the cash she had was all in her pocket and she had no extra money.

Moreover, the gentry of He County would not take her with them to do this.

At most, after this incident, no one would dare to take over Gao E and Chen Tao’s property.

However, if the Zhao family has an industry that Gao E is very interested in, she will not completely refuse to take action.

"Let's see." Gao E replied.

Lu Hao knew that Sister Gao always did things according to the situation, so he didn't say anything else.

When Xu Boyan arrested the Zhao family members, he cut the Gordian knot quickly. After arresting the Zhao family members, he was like cutting flesh with a blunt knife. He was not in a hurry to deal with the Zhao family members.

After everyone was taken into custody and the paperwork was completed, he still had the leisure to come and see Gao E.

"Lord Xu is making a big move this time," Gao E teased.

"I have to thank Madam Chen for her help." Xu Boyan said, looking around the yard. "Where's Que'er?"

"I went to Zheng Xiaoshun's house." Gao E asked Lian Xin to follow her. "Is this related to Que'er?"

Xu Boyan took out a bracelet, the one Gao E showed him last time.

"Is there something wrong with this bracelet?" Gao E didn't think Xu Boyan wanted to give this bracelet to her.

Xu Boyan didn't keep it a secret: "It comes from the royal family."

Gao E leaned back a little as if she had seen a snake or scorpion: "Are you sure?"

Xu Boyan turned the bracelet around and said, "It has a royal mark. The only person who could lose jewelry in Qinzhou City is probably Princess Qingfeng." He analyzed.

"You mean Princess Qingfeng was robbed by horse bandits?" Gao E suddenly realized, "Then she..."

"So I want to ask you how you brought her back." Xu Boyan came here mainly for this matter.

Although Xu Boyan would definitely take care of the Zhao family as long as he found the stolen goods, he had to make good use of the royal belongings.

"Zheng Xiaoshun and Lu Hao brought her back. Let's go ask Zheng Xiaoshun." Gao E suggested.

Xu Boyan nodded.

Zheng Xiaoshun was recuperating at home. Que'er, Yan'er and Yuan'er picked a bunch of wild flowers, and then inserted them one by one on Zheng Xiaoshun's body, turning Zheng Xiaoshun into a flower man.

Seeing Gao E come in, Zheng Xiaoshun seemed to see a savior: "Second sister-in-law——"

Gao E was stunned for a moment, then laughed: "It's quite beautiful."

Zheng Xiaoshun suddenly didn't want to recuperate in the village anymore.

"Huahua--" Que'er took a handful of Inula flowers and held them in front of Gao E.

"Okay." Gao E took it.

Looking at Princess Qingfeng's appearance, Xu Boyan knew that Gao E treated her very well. Even in the princess's mansion, Princess Qingfeng might not be so comfortable.

"You go and ask." Gao E gestured to Xu Boyan.

Xu Boyan walked to Zheng Xiaoshun, and Zheng Xiaoshun instantly became nervous, not knowing what Lord Xu was going to ask.

"I want to know what happened when you met Que'er." Xu Boyan asked directly.

Zheng Xiaoshun heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that question and immediately explained the situation: "She was obviously disguised as a man, and she was injured."

After listening to this, Xu Boyan nodded and said, "Don't tell anyone about this in the future."

Zheng Xiaoshun didn't know why but nodded.

Xu Boyan didn't stay long. After asking, he was about to leave. Gao E had to take him a long way today.

"Just tell me if you have something to say." Xu Boyan saw that Gao E didn't go back.

"Can you leave the bracelet to Que'er? When she sees the old things, she might remember the past." Gao E suggested.

Xu Boyan looked at Gao E and said, "It's not the right time yet." He said indifferently, "If she recovers her memory at this time, it won't be of much benefit to us."

Gao E knew this was the case, so she was struggling with whether to ask: "Hmm."

Xu Boyan thought Gao E would refute him, but she just said, "You know this is the result, why are you still asking?"

"I pretend to be a kind person." Gao E said with a smile.

Xu Boyan laughed when he heard Gao E say this: "Do you think Qing'er was better before or now?"

Gao E didn't know what to say about this.

From her perspective, she thinks life was better before, simple and carefree.

But from Luo Qing'er's perspective, it is important to know the truth.

As for whether it is good or not, that is Luo Qing'er's business, and Gao E can't say anything.

"You don't have to think too much, just let everything take its course." Xu Boyan saw that Gao E didn't answer.

Gao E felt that letting things take their own course meant she would just do what she wanted to do: "I understand."

Xu Boyan kept the Zhao family members locked up like this, picking up a few random people for questioning every day, and six days passed in the blink of an eye.

That day, Bai Hao ran in from outside and said, "Master, Zhao Jiancheng bribed the yamen runners to pass the letter outside."

Xu Boyan didn't care: "It seems that the yamen runners in He County are not easy to bribe."

Bai Hao was stunned: "Did you do this on purpose?"

"When did I do it on purpose?" Xu Boyan looked at Bai Hao.

Bai Hao smiled mysteriously: "I will win the battle from afar, and this time I will definitely catch all the Zhao family members in one fell swoop."

"What the hell is the Zhao family?" Xu Boyan put down the book in his hand. "Some things are not worth waiting for. We need to give them a push."

Bai Hao thought about what his grandfather had done, but for a moment he couldn't figure out what it was.

All the Zhao family relatives came back to celebrate the second master's birthday, but the steward was still outside. Zhao Jiancheng bribed the jailer to deliver a letter to his steward.

Even though he knew that Xu Boyan had said that it was useless for him to hold on to Ye Linchuan, Zhao Jiancheng still planned to drag Ye Linchuan along.

Zhao Jiancheng now has no other choice but to gamble.
